I find firefox and Internet explorer equal. I happen to use both of them for certain things. Firefox is better than internet explorer on most cases, but internet explorer has better tabbing (My Opinion!)
Ok, I have replaced the old tutorial on my website with this one... bassically the same... except its about increasing browser compatibility, instead of telling people internet explorer sucks... I think that its a better idea, as its less offensive ( I honestly don't know who would take offense), and has more of a point.

Description With so many different browsers, people have a long list to choose from. Unfortunately, that is when we run into problems with a website's performance. Since most browsers read HTML, CSS etc. slightly different than the next browser, your website may not look how you wanted. Let's learn to fix this problem.
Try It Out If we want to make our website compatible with different browsers, we'll have to know which browsers the viewers will be using. We can grab this with the good ol' HTTP_USER_AGENT command.
Alright, good job, young php-learner. As you can probably guess, this does pretty much nothing. So far all we have done is create the $browser variable and given it a value. Now we are ready to make our website more compatible.
Code <?php //-------------- //grab user info //-------------- $browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
//-------------- //compatible content //-------------- if(strstr($browser, "MSIE")) { $compatible = <<<html Code Compatible for Internet Explorer html; } else { $compatible = <<<html Code Compatible for Other Browser(s) html; } echo $compatible; ?>
Ok, so bassically, if the value of the $browser variable (which contains the HTTP_USER_AGENT command) has the phrase MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer), it shows you whatever you replace "Code Compatible for Internet Explorer" with. If it doesn't contain MSIE then it echoes what ever you replace "Code Compatible for Other Browser(s)" with. Also, you can use this to add special features to your website depending on what browser they are using. Play around with the code, and add your own flavours and ideas to it.
Notice from rvalkass:
Even if you copy from your own website, it should really be quoted.
When i changed to FireFox, my internet was wayy faster (my bandwith runs out frequently) According to my friend, IE takes longer to load up the page (not downloading)
Had it not occured to you, that you could use javascript for that? just create a variable for weather or not it is IE, then a statement for when it is, and an ELSE for if it isnt. Thus, relieveing some strain from your web host, as the server does not have to process it, the clients computer does it itself.

I'm working on a website and a few minutes ago I got very tired from the Internet Explorer
vertical scrollbar. This vertical scrollbar is always there, even if the length of the page does not
require a vertical scrollbar. In this case, Internet Explorer will disable the scrollbar though not
remove it. In my opinion this would be correct behaviour. The disabled however not hidden scrollbar
means that a switch between a preview of your website in Mozilla Firefox and MS Internet Explorer
will lead to an annoying change of the location of your layout. To disable this an...
First of all, psp can browse the internet with its simple browser. BUT! What you may not know is

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to test your PHP pages without the Internet or
